Muslims don't have crusades, yes, but they call it Jihad. Victims of Islam? Here's</a> One. Of course, there's also the girls of Islam who have been raped by the men of Islam. And the girls are the ones who are tried and executed for being raped. Embrace the Religion of Peace ¤heart¤ ¤heart¤ ¤heart¤:rolleyes:</p>

As for the Crusades, the Vatican is taking another look at them. I think it warrants its own thread though, I don't want to hijack this one.</p>

I heard that 50 million(and probably more) have been murdered in the name of Jesus, the prince of peace. However, that runs contrary to what Jesus preached-Peace.
** Jesus Said:"But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you" (Luke 6:27-28).**</p>
<p>Islam preaches war and terror against Unbelievers as a matter of doctrine and therein lies the difference..
"Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme" - Surah 8:39</p>
<p>Christians do not kill those who do not believe in Christ, despite the cross worn around some men's necks. When Jesus was rejected by a Samaritan village, His disciples asked if the town should be destroyed. But Jesus</a> Said
"You do not know what manner of spirit you are of. For the Son of Man did not come to destroy mens lives but to save them. Luke 9:51-56"</p>
<p>Compare that with Mohammed, who spread his cult through war.
Mohammed promoted persecution against the "infidels"; Christ forgave and converted the chief persecutor (1 Tim. 1:13-15).</p>

You exhibit almost valid points...almost, as far as I'm concerned, my religion, based on Christianity, does not warrant me Hell... </p>
